How Electricity Choice Works in Richmond, Texas
Texas is one of the few states with a fully deregulated electricity market. That means most households in Richmond don't buy power directly from the local utility. Instead, you choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) that supplies your electricity, while the local utility – CenterPoint Energy – is still responsible for maintaining the poles, wires, and restoring power during outages.
For consumers, deregulation creates competition. Dozens of REPs can offer different plans in Richmond, with their own rates, contract lengths, base fees, and green energy options. The downside is that the fine print can get confusing: teaser rates, minimum usage fees, and bill credits can make a "cheap" plan more expensive than it looks.
At American Utility, we compare plans available in Richmond and focus on the numbers that matter most: average cost per kWh, total estimated monthly bill, and contract terms. Our goal is to help you quickly see which plans are a good fit for your home size and usage – and avoid surprises on your bill.
What This Means for a Typical Home in Richmond
Based on recent offers, many Richmond households using around 1,000 kWh per month can expect plans ranging from 1464.0¢ to 1568.0¢ per kWh, depending on contract length and plan type. Locking in a competitive fixed-rate plan now can help protect you from seasonal price spikes during hot Texas summers.

How does deregulation work in Texas?
Texas has a deregulated electricity market, meaning you can choose your electricity provider. This competition drives prices down and gives you more plan options.
